Q MagazineNov 21, 2012A quietly beautiful record. [Dec 2012, p.105]
-
Nov 5, 2012Halstead's songs and Euros Childs-like voice breathe the sort of honesty and goodness that's harder and harder to find in the iTunes age.
-
Sep 26, 2012The quality, depth, and otherworldliness that Halstead has achieved here elevates it above being just another folk album.
-
Sep 14, 2012Halstead's performing reinvents no wheels but never is anything less than well-done regardless, and the full performances can often find their own impact.
-
Nov 5, 2012Recorded in a primary school, the Reading warbler's third solo record is whimsical, pleasant and calming, with shades of Damien Rice and Regina Spektor.
-
UncutOct 26, 2012When your attention drifts you barely notice it's there. But when you do, it evokes a warm and evocative pleasure. [Dec 2012, p.72]
-
Under The RadarSep 13, 2012It's one of the more beautiful albums in recent memory. [Aug/Sep 2012, p.110]
-
Sep 13, 2012Halstead gets closer to creating music that transmits his bare soul to the listener without much sonic trickery to get in the way. In the wrong hands, such a Spartan approach could end up boring, but in Halstead's case, it's completely transfixing and true.
-
Sep 13, 2012Though it may take some time to grow accustomed to, this is a record you'll want to wrap yourself up in.

MojoNov 21, 2012Palindrome Hunches is a record full of songs that whisper their entreaties. [Dec 2012, p.88]
-
Sep 13, 2012These songs are gracefully played and pleasant, but- like water- they can grow drab and unsatisfying when consumed en masse.
-
Sep 13, 2012The songs on Palindrome Hunches are certainly pretty and play perfectly as background music for a variety of endeavors (washing dishes, vacuuming, etc.) but not much on here really stands out and catches your attention.
